小简介
Tunng是由来自伦敦的两人组Mike Lindsay和Sam Genders组成,深受民谣与IDM的影响,虽然他们的音乐接近於Folktronica,但是由於晚生了几年,弦外之音的特别质感让他们的音乐听起来涵养丰富,层次堆叠的效果也是溢於言表。虽然因为电气民谣的没落而得不到普遍的好评,但是他们的音乐绝对能与那些电音前辈比肩。
Though the core members of Tunng, Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay, began their musical partnership composing scores for soft-core porn, they soon decided to form a band that would bring together Genders' gentle vocals with Lindsay's guitar playing and songwriting. To fill out their sound, the duo added more guitars as well as female vocals, turntables, programming, and other percussion. Often labeled as either "future folk" or "folktronica" by critics who had a hard time placing the band's sound, Tunng released a handful of singles in their native Britain before their full-length debut, This Is...Tunng: Mother's Daughter and Other Songs came out in 2005 (the album was later re-released in the U.S. the following year on Ace Fu). In 2006 their follow-up, Comments of the Inner Chorus, hit shelves. By this time more of a collective than anything else, especially because initially Genders had opted out of performing live, the six-piece (Genders and Lindsay plus vocalists Becky Jacobs and Ashley Bates and multi-instrumentalists Martin Smith and Phil Winter) released Good Arrows only the next year.
